Hi I am new to Flash and AS is looking daunting.

I have got Flash 8 now. I am only really having to do flashy intro banners with animation and maybe navigation.

So my question is, do people only do this with AS now, or is tweening still acceptable? And do Flash cartoonist animators only use AS?

The thing is, animating on the timeline is much more tactile then using AS.

Thanks for you help
